    I drink about 1-2 cups of coffee, and 4 cups of tea per day. Big tall cups that is.

    My beverage of choice is coffee, with or without caffeine. Before I leave for work: 1 cup. In the morning at work: usually 2 to 3 cups. After lunch, another 2 to 3 cups. After dinner, another cup. So... 6 to 8 10 ounce cups a day. Tim

      Sounds like I am in the caffinated minority. :cool: I drink 1-2 cups in the morning before I leave for work, then usually 1-2 cups in the morning at the office, and another 1-2 cups after lunch. Although there are days I only drink 1-2 all day. However, I also have extremly low blood pressure and drinking the coffee elevates my BP to the lower end of normal. I have tried medication but it has more unpleasant side effects and is not nearly as effective as the coffee, nor as pleasurable. I also drink sweet iced tea with lunch if they have it, and at home in the evenings. I come from a mid-west farm family so I was raised on tea instead of cool-aid. I have found, however, that my need for coffee is directly related to my BP. When my BP is up I have very little desire to drink coffee, and I don't seem to suffer any withdrawl effects when I don't drink as much. When my BP is real low, you almost can't brew it fast enough. :sigh:

        I start the day with one pot (standard "10-cup"), to start my heart and prepare for the shower, then keep a 16 oz travel mug filled and in hand all during the day. After work I switch to adult beverages.

          At least two large cups a day, typically three. I have gotten into drinking more Rockstar/Full Throttle/AMP/Red Bull drinks. I love the Rockstar Mocha...iced coffee with a kick. I'll drink two of those a day, morning and evening, and throw a regular coffee in to my gullet in the afternoon.

            I wish I could stand the coffee's flavor. It would help a lot to treat my morning sleepyness. Maybe I could order some cups of coffee in pills. So I can have 2 or 3 cups of coffee a day.

                1 cup of coffee in the morning, then about a half dozen cups of coke. I used to drink green tea, but I realized that I was just adding sugar to taste and there really wasn't much green tea soothing going on. :-D

                  Tea also has caffeine, but I agree. I just don't drink it much. I drink too many sugary drinks, I am not saying I am a paradigm of healthy living. I am just careful about addiction to things.

                  I'm similar. I gave up regular caffeine intake, including cokes and tea, a couple of years ago and only use it as a stopgap when I've no other choice.

                    I start out the day with about 8 cups of coffee in the summer. (Actually it's about 4 regular coffee mugs, but the coffee maker says 8 cups.) In the winter I drink more. Then, after lunch, I usually drink about a gallon of iced tea in the summer. In the winter, there's more hot coffee and less cold tea. I used to worry about too much caffeine and my wife used on get my case, too, but awhile back she asked my urologist and he said he could find no real clinical evidence that coffee or tea was bad for you. Not getting enough fluids and getting dehydrated is a much worse problem for people who work long hours, so he says.

                    Caffeine does dehydrate you. I should know because I drink too much every day.

                      I drink three to four cups of pure caffinated coffee before I even start work. I usually have on cup of tea after lunch and then three more cups of either tea or 50/50 coffee when I get home. I know it's addicting, but if I am going to be addicted to something, it may as well be leagal. ;)

                        I have a liter of Mountain Dew a day, starting at 6am. When that runs out I'm too lazy to go to the store and get more so I drink water until I go home after which time I may drink another liter of it or Dr. Pepper or maybe something else. I find that the caffeine has very little effect on me. If I don't drink it for a week I feel the same as any other day so I'm not worried about being addicted or any of that.

                          1 tea in the morning for a quick round of discussion with friends and 1 coffee in the afternoon when I start feeling a bit lazy.

                            2 cups of coffee typically. Occasionally, I'll have a cup of black or green tea.

                            I used to get my coffee before the birds start singing. I drink coffee twice a day, but wait, I know a drink that scientist call it "Elixir of youth" (Soaked Ginger in Cold water) + mint boiled together, Filtered. After each meal will make you feel different. Try it guys, you have no thing to lose, but a lot to get !

                              I used to drink two 20 oz mugs of coffee with breakfast, then lots of diet soda at lunch. But then several years ago I noticed that by 9 a.m. everything made me angry. "That's a not the primary key, you f**** moron!" And I thought, whoa, that's different. So I switched to decaf coffee or tea. If I get dull and distracted in the afternoon, I'll have a diet soda.

                                What's worse is putting warm milk in just about anything! Let's see, I drink gallons of iced tea and have no problems with VS or Macs. I wonder if there's a lesson here? :)

                                LEMMA: Putting milk/etc. in tea should be a criminal offense. I'm sure there's something in the Bible against it. Certainly, any who emerged from the shallower end of the gene pool would never think of such a foul juxtaposition of elegance and cow-squeezings.

                                  Once upon a time, I was truly blessed: my youngest daughter was a Barrista in our local Starbucks. This existed for part of her high-school days, and, as she was very good at this (true ambidextrous back when their espresso was made by hand), she was maintained as an employee through college whenever she came back for vacations. I invented the Mint Frappuccino before the spearmint version came out. Other variations they've yet to emply. Yet, eventually, one settles down to a Grande (i.e, medium/12oz/330ml) coffee. Official Store Policy; free beverages to immediate family. General Corporate policy: after working a certain number of hours, an employee is allowed to 'mark out' a one pound bag of coffee (which I squirreled away for hard times). Net result: 1 - 1.5 liter/day of serious coffee. Alas (or luckily?), those days have passed. I do about one cup of the equally strong (but not as tasty) company brew (ca. 330ml) - early in the AM, before it's finished perking (yes, perking) and has not yet changed from tasty to swill. Not to worry - I have re-instigated my tea drinking (favorite = lapsang suchong, for those who know of such things). Punctuated with decaf brewed by taking Latin-roasted finely ground coffee (which is very cheap in a Bodega) and use it much like instant - except the taste is super-fresh brewed. Note that if you try this, get very finely ground coffee so that it settles to the bottom in a cake (like Turkish coffee). This style of coffee making is also referred to as 'Israeli Mud Coffee'. Once you learn to do it, you're never without a cup of fresh coffee in just a few minutes -and without those wasteful KCup/bag/ecological nightmares. I've spoken too long and my cup's almost drained . . .

                                      I drink about 1-2 cups of coffee, and 4 cups of tea per day. Big tall cups that is.
